I mean I get the that and am aware of the of the plot, but is it bad enough that its good or just overhyped bad or mediocre?! I guess there is only one way to find out.

Hillary Clintons Thong posted:Ok I've never watched much of Voyager. Maybe most of season 1 before I gave up. Should I or shouldn't I watch Threshold because this thread kinda got me amped up for it. No, unless your unsober. The problem with Voyager is that it really isn't a terrible show, just bland. Voyager leaves most people with an empty unsatisfied feeling like they've wasted an hour of their life when anything else done with that time could've been more rewarding.

DS9 "The Storyteller", we learn that the Bajorans are both on the verge of civil war over minor tribal land claims and are held in thrall in terror by a fog machine and light show. They simultaneously permit themselves to be governed by children and use fertile women as currency. One visiting leader of the Bajoran people assaults a visible minority serving-man within minutes of coming aboard. The other is enamored with a simple food replicator. Clearly, a culture, a planet, a people worth going to great lengths to rush them into the federation. All that value they could bring with them between the season-spanning risk of famine, bombing campaigns and anti-Cardassian pogroms. In any Bajoran-centric episode I always feel so bad for long suffering Gul Dukat, for all he went through to, all the restraint he had to show in teaching those savages the delicate intricacies of intensive mining and ore-reprocessing techniques. He tried to bring art and technology to a race of fanatical bigots.

There was no evidence of any holocaust, ever, brought to the credible attention of any stellar governance body. The Cardassians were maligned by propaganda, but even in the worst-case retelling of the history of the so-called "occupation" the only "mass" deaths on record were workplace accidents, riot suppression and defensive maneuvers to thwart terror campaigns by fanatical guerrillas who killed Bajoran and Cardassian alike. Mining, rock-breaking and drink-serving in an officers club are dangerous lines of work, true, but they are foundational to the establishment of any civilization and only the Cardassians were willing to come in and teach such a combative, vindictive populace. The federation itself cared nothing for and wanted nothing to do with Bajor until after they had finally become adept at the Cardassian art of turning crushed rock into slag into ore. shadow puppet of a fucked around with this message at 09:25 on Jun 2, 2016 |

Uh there is that episode where we see the Cardies using Bajoran women as sex slaves like the Japanese did to the Koreans.

It was far closer to a Bunny Ranch situation where the legal, fully above-board and in-protocol option to sleep with dozens of strapping Cardassian men (to be so fortunate!) was offered up as a career choice as a higher growth opportunity than in the field of ores and ore reprocessing.

Crowsbeak posted:Hey starvation, or prostitution, thats a good choice. Starvation, prostitution or ore mining, where one of those three options carried the additional risk of being attacked by Bajoran guerrilla partisans. How is it the Cardassian's fault that the Bajorans never developed the sort of aptness with filing systems that would have allowed them to participate in more administrative roles during the supervised planetary educational period? They are essentially uncontacted tribes people, you cant just sit them down in front of a SAP terminal an somehow expect vial ore reprocessing quotas to still be met.

My favourite part of DS9 is that they had to start writing Gul Dukat as an insane madman because Marc Alaimo is so charismatic that people actually believed Dukat's bullshit.

I started watching voyager again sometime before this thread cropped up because I was horribly bored with all existing televisions. I didn't get very far, even the brief light that is the doctor episodes can't bring me in. I'd rather watch nothing at all than watch voyager.

Sanctum posted:Wasn't there some other star trek series after voyager? I know it existed but I never watched it and don't know anything about it. Enterprise. It had Scott Bakula as the captain. It had absolutely top-notch production values, and looked nothing short of stunning in HD. Unfortunately, Bakula was stiff and boring, and most of the episodes are stale rehashings of old Trek scripts, with a few hidden gems buried in the muck. It did start to get interesting just around the time it got canceled, and wound up with a finale that was, frankly, insulting to anyone who had stuck with the series. I enjoyed it for the most part, but I'm easily swayed by starship porn. Also Trip, the engineer, was by far the sexiest Trek cast member to exist. Now the actor is doing a bunch of awful SyFy movies.

It's just that a combination of his accent, characterization, and acting skills made him come across as incredibly unintelligent, and other than that the only things I even can remember about him is how he constantly made sure we remembered he likes catfish and that one time he got pregnant

I liked the one where they meet their descendants and it's revealed that Malcolm died alone and the rest of the crew were trying to console him by saying that only a third of the crew were women but this turns out to be bullshit because it also says that Archer had kids with some alien woman they picked up, so they were recruiting other people and he still died alone.

Empress Hoshi in the Mirror Universe arc was a legit good/hilarious ending. Did not see that coming. In my second year of University I had a class where we had a group project and my group had 3 international students from Korea. At the time Linda Park and Grace Park were the two biggest Koreans on North American TV, and the two Korean girls and one Korean guy in my group would always mention how pissed they were that the two ugliest Koreans alive were stars in the US. Thank god they never watched Grey's Anatomy.
